this isn't rap
this is crap

real rap talks about the difficulties of growing up in the hood
its a story man, a rags to riches story

crap is what we have today that vaguely sounds like rap
instead of it being a story its nothing more than how to make money by selling shit to kids who need music for their parties.

Ya rap has become like pop back in 2000

ROFL.

apparently this vid is faked. But even if it isnt suposedly she was lip syncing and just singing along. If you hear her live performances you really cant say shes just alright. Shes one of the top vocals of this generation. Its just that most of her songs are mass appeal songs that doesnt showcast her ability.

I like how no one realized that this wasn't about disrespecting Taylor Swift (yuck country music) It was about him being pissed off probably like millions of others at home and trying to praise Beyonce. What happened to taylor swift wasn't due to malicious intent just a side effect. Why do you think he apologized to her so quickly?

Also Beyonce winning best video but losing best female video doesn't really make much sense to me either, the only thing that could explain that is more videos splitting the vote more ways or something.

it doesn't matter what his intention was, or who deserved the award more. he simply acted like a dickhead and took away taylor swift's special moment. nobody cares if he had a malicious intent or not. anybody with a bit of common sense and respect wouldn't do that.

did you read his apology? it's full of crap and i lost every ounce of respect i had for kanye after reading that.

i can't believe you are actually trying to condone/justify kanye west's actions lol

I thought he apologized quickly as a get out of jail free card to skirt responsibility for his actions. Imagine if I could just walk up to you giving a speech to your peers and just punch you in the face then go and say oh yeah sorry bout that lol and expect no repercussions. If people are sorry they wouldn't do it in the first place. It's not like me spilling coffee on you because I'm a clutz, it's me consciously deciding to be a douche while going through with it because I can't get in trouble.

Why can't we get news of these people getting hit by cars or ODing on cocaine?

kanye west tries way too hard to be a rebel and it looks so fake, everything he does seems to be setup in order for him to get some sort attention.. so low class and no one really cares about your opinion anyways kanye

i have to admit he really does know how to market himself tho, the media attention hes getting today is insane

I thought this was a really good idea by Kanye personally, as these award shows for a bunch of people ive never heard of/dont care about are pretty boring.

Kanye is my new favorite rapper(never had one before)

P.S. attractiveness is objective and Taylor Swift probably looks average without professional make up and all that.
